Vastu Shastra

While deciding the location and size of the rooms as per the guidelines of the Vastu Shastra, ideally, the architectural plan should also take into account the provision for leaving some place free for the concerned Lord(s) in a given direction.

The Lords of eight directions are as follows:

East- Indra (Vedic Sun has also been called Indra);
South-east- Agni;
South- Yama;
South-west- Niruti;
West- Varun;
North- west- Vayu;
NorthKuber;
North-east- Esana (God).

The free space should be left as per the properties (e.g. the magnetic and other effects) of the gross manifestations of these powers.

For example, as per the scriptures on Vastu, substantial open space should be left in the East direction much lesser space in the North direction and very little in the West-South direction. Negligible or no space is to be left free or open in the other directions.
